We cast the 'St. Elmo's Fire' remake

Columbia Pictures

When we heard Friday that ABC is developing a remake of the quintessential Brat Pack movie "St. Elmo's Fire," our first thought was, Who should the network cast in the update? Check that: Our first thought was, Really? A "St. Elmo's Fire" remake? But right after that, we moved on to the casting. ABC's version will apparently cut the number of lead characters from seven to six, but that just doesn't seem right to us. So in Zap2it's dream remake, all seven of the original roles are intact -- and we threw in the Andie MacDowell character too, because if Kirby doesn't have a dream girl to pine over, he's not really Kirby, is he? Here, then, are Zap2it's recommendations for casting on "St. Elmo's Fire." You're welcome, ABC.
